Lots of fuss over the documentary ‘Hubris’

Here’s a little bit of the documentary ‘Hubris,’ which some of us have been going back and forth over last night and this afternoon. Rachel Maddow does a great job, as usual. The Iraq war apologists will never believe this stuff, though.

Gun nut James Yeager reconsiders his call to arms

The great thing about dumb and violent rhetoric on You Tube videos is, you can take that stuff back before it kills someone, you know? Unlike a bullet fired from a pistol or rifle by an angry gun nut, I mean. Which brings us to Tennessean James Yeager, who’s had his concealed carry permit suspended by Tennessee after his bizarre You Tube rant last week.

In the earlier video, and an even earlier one he took down, “I said some pretty volatile things,” Yeager acknowledges, heh, heh. “I do not in any way advocate the overthrow of the United States government. Nor do I condone any violent actions toward elected officials. I was very angry when I made that video, and I didn’t have time to reflect on it before it was put up.”

A challenge for our times: getting bullets vs. birth control

A Tennessee gunner who stands by his threats

Earlier today Tennessee gun advocate James Yeager ranted on YouTube that he might start killing people over his anger that President Barack Obama might issue executive orders related to some gun control measures. Yeager’s since taken that down, but in another video below he explains himself and stands by his earlier statements.

He also aimed a verbal barrage at “all you f–king fair-weather Second Amendment people who are telling me that I’m doing a f—ing disservice to the gun community by saying that I am not going to STAND for the tyranny. F– you! Our country wasn’t founded by f—ing fair-weather p—ies.” Watch below (NSFW) and answer this question: Who’s crazier? Yeager or Alex Jones?
